Authoring and Decision Support tool consist of CAD system and related tools, which support BIM and associate modelling data. The Resource Access Management is used to manage the information from local servers and cloud solutions on the Web using the REST API. The simulation and analysis tool provides the energy related computational services and tools, which are managed using cloud environment, could communicate using the REST API. However, a direct link from an authoring or decision support tool to a local simulation/analysis tool via another method supported by the local operation system (typically Windows) is also possible. The services will be configured and adapted for the development of virtual lab realizations. Therefore, they will be installed as separate components, embedded in other end user tools or centrally used as web services. The communication with other component are developed through various protocols/API, whereas with web services strictly using REST API. Regardless of the underlying communication protocols used, a coherent higher level API are uniformly defined and supported by all
